They transferred my husband to a nursing home today -without my knowledge. I suppose he knows but I don't know and can't talk to him because they say "he's sleeping".

Husband had ESRD with Type I Diabetes -Insulin Dependent.
I was his care-partner for home hemodialysis using Nxstage December 2013-July 2016.
He went back to doing in-center July 2016.
After more than 150 days of being hospitalized with complications from Diabetes, my beloved husband's heart stopped and he passed away 06-08-21. He was only 63.

My heart is breaking for my husband. They transferred him back to the ICU this morning. His BP dropped to 55/40. His belly was also distended so they drained him of fluid/undigested food and trying to figure out why that happened. Lots of scans. They are hitting him with meds thru a central IV AND a PiCC line and put him on a BiPap machine until he is stable. Please send prayers and a whole lot of positivity our way. I actually slept a straight two hours last nite. Then the phone rang with this news. But he's a fighter. He opens his eyes and looks around and he's aware of everything. Wish they could do that heart surgery but they want to wait until he's a little stronger.

iolaire and Cassandra: He can't talk right now because they are using a BiPap machine on him. Meanwhile, we are still without a car and I don't have anyone that can drive me. I have a portable oxygen concentrator but with a very limited amount of O2. I can't risk getting stranded and running out. I can't take a taxi or Uber because hubby has the bank card with him (he didn't know he'd end up in the hospital). Thank goodness I wrote the card number down so at least I can order groceries and meds to be delivered. Taxi's require the actual card. I can't take the free volunteer rides because those are for doctor appts only. The phone has been my only "lifeline" to him and it sure sucks.

Oh, Pea Tea, I am so sorry to hear this.  It must all be so frustrating and frightening for you both.  Does he have a social worker that might have some transportation suggestions for you?

Why can't you take Uber or Lyft?  Neither requires the actual card - you register it in the app once and only have to update it when the expiration date changes.'

There is always the danger of cabbies playing the "credit card machine is broke, I need cash" to avoid the CC charge.    It's so common that Boston requires cabs to be withdrawn from service if their CC system is down.

I am going to have to figure out how to get an app on our home computer. Otherwise hitchhike. I'm being sarcastic now but am not myself at the moment.

-They just put him back on a ventilator. They say he is really struggling. His BP is 90/40 and that is with 4 BP meds thru an IV. Not a good day I'm afraid.

Do you have to have an iphone or some sort of handheld device to use or download the app to use Uber? I found Google Play on our home computer but do not have a cell phone.


His blood pressure is now 58/40. They will perform CPR if he codes.

Contact the aclu or if your state has attorneys for the less well off, see if you can get a order demanding. His immediate release.  Additionally your doctor should certify that you are capable of providing care.  If that doesn’t work threaten a lawsuit because if hubby wants to go home and is willing to go ama then he is being held against his will.

My husband has passed.

Dear PrimeTimer, I am so sorry to read these sad and shocking news and I send you my deepest condolences. You and your husband have both tried so very hard and it is so sad to see how brutally cruel this kidney-disease really is. I am thinking of you and send you my deepest condolences and sympathetic thoughts from Kristina. :grouphug;

There are no words to express my profound sorrow I have become vested in your hubby progress.I know how I feel is a mere shadow of your feelings.  Your stories of his life were so full of love.  I know you have had a heartbreaking loss.  You and your husband struggles and the obvious love and care that you filled your writings with helped me deal with my minor life difficulties. I will say a prayer for you and your wonderful courageous. Husband.
